“So number one, Reading Rainbow was not cancelled because it was not effective. Reading Rainbow was the most used television resource in our nation’s classroom. In 2009, it was [cancelled] due to No Child Left Behind. That government policy made a choice between teaching the rudiments of reading and fostering a love of reading. So the idea that I am trying to somehow revive a failed endeavor is bullshit. That’s right. I said it. Bullshit.”

Tags: it's a good word, a really useful one, i'd say people should use it more often, but that would deprive it of some of its power, so i think it is used exactly the right amount, it's like the wizard who is never late, but arrives precisely when he means to, and having arrived, says a single word, and then departs, leaving you to reflect on the history of tongues, the single word, bullshit.
